At HDR, we specialise in engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services. While we are most well-known for adding beauty and structure to communities through high-performance buildings and smart infrastructure, we provide much more than that.

HDR supports an inclusive and diverse work environment and is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and people of culturally diverse backgrounds to apply.
We believe that the way we work can add meaning and value to the world. That ideas inspire positive change. That colouring outside the lines can illuminate fresh perspectives. And that small details yield important realisations. Above all, we believe that collaboration is the best way forward.

- Manage mid-size projects
- Contribute to cross-functional initiatives within HDR’s Bridges and Structures Business Class
- Drive safety and quality leadership aligned with HDR’s “Drive to Zero” initiative
- Representing HDR at industry technical seminars and promoting a positive, inclusive culture aligned with HDR values
About You
- Typically, a minimum of 7 years’ professional experience in structural engineering, focusing on bridges
- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or related discipline
- Chartered member of Engineers Australia and Registered Professional Engineer Victoria (RPEV)
- Experience in project management, including commercial, administrative, and technical aspects (highly regarded). Proven ability to successfully lead small project teams
- Proficient in structural analysis and design software such as Midas Civil, SpaceGass, Strand 7, SBD, Excel, and an interest in parametric modelling
- Ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently and drive innovation in design and delivery
- Self-motivated with a growth mindset and passion for continuous learning
- Commitment to active participation in HDR’s employee-owned culture
Why Join Us?
At HDR, we believe in making great things possible through collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. You’ll join a growing Victorian team that supports career growth and technical excellence while working on a wide variety of transport infrastructure projects across Australia and internationally.
If you’re ready to develop your career with purpose and make your mark on the future of our communities we want to hear from you.
